"I have to thank Chip Hanauer and Bill Muncey for the

"It's a privilege to be in the same group as Bill Muncey and Chip Hanauer," said
Villwock, who has been racing boats since age 16. "I talked to Bill when I was a

Because of bridge construction, the Madison race course was scaled back to a mile and two-thirds with short straight-aways last year. This year, however, it will be a two mile course, according to the Madison Courier.

Madison - hometown port of the U-6 Oh Boy! Oberto - is looking for a threepeat from driver Steve David, who won last year's race after a crash with Dave Villwock in the U-1 Spirit of Qatar in the final.
